Welcome to WSE 2005!

Since its inception in 1999, the Web Site Evolution (WSE) series of events have provided a forum for researchers and practitioners to present original
work on subjects related to the disciplined evolution of large-scale Web
sites.

Web site evolution is a rich research area. There are enough similarities between large-scale Web sites and traditional legacy systems that many of the proven tools and techniques can be redeployed in this new application area. However, there are also enough differences that the problem requires innovative solutions to the many new problems unique to the discipline.

As a one-day symposium, WSE 2005 aims to bring together members of both the Software Maintenance & Evolution and Web Engineering communities. The goal is to provide an environment for researchers and practitioners working in areas such as Web application design, development, maintenance, and evolution to discuss results and exchange experiences about models, methods, tools, techniques, and technologies related to the above-mentioned areas.

WSE 2005 will be held in Budapest on September 26 and is co-located with ICSM
2005, the 21st IEEE International Conference on Software Maintenance.

We hope that you will participate in WSE 2005 and contribute to its success!
